By the time our students are ready to graduate, they have had exposure to the professional work environment. Through internships, cooporative education, or the extensive project work culminating in the capstone senior design project, our students have worked side by side with professional engineers and computer scientists in true working environments.

Cooperative Education
Students who participate in our co-op plan alternate between full-time classroom study and full-time work experience. In all cases, they are compensated for their work. Within the course of five years, a co-op student will have worked four semesters and studied for eight while earning a degree. Students in all of the college’s academic areas are encouraged to participate in the co-op program, including those who study at Harlaxton College, UE's British campus.

Internships
Internships are semester-long, full-time professional work experiences with many occuring during the summer. All are paid positions, and students gain insight into the world of work.
